localhost/laravel/public/post Not Found

Question

I am new to the laravel framework. I started a tutorial video on tuts, and followed the directions exactly. I setup laravel and was able to access localhost/laravel/public just fine. I even changed routes.php and was still able to access localhost/laravel/public. However, the next step in the tutorial was to create a new Route. my new Route looks like this

Route::get('post', 'PostController@show');

I then created a new controller called PostController. The file looks like this:

<?php

class PostController extends BaseController
{
    public function show()
    {
        return View::make('post.show');
    }
}

Next, the tutorial asked me to create a show.php in a new directory called "post". Then when I access localhost/laravel/public/post the "show.php" should appear. Instead I receive an error that says

"The requested URL /laravel/public/post was not found on this server"

I am running Apache/2.4.9 (win64) PHP/5.5.12 Server at localhost Port 80

Once again, I followed the exact instructions from tutsplus.

What is the DocumentRoot of your vhost setup to point to? What happens if you try to visit localhost/laravel/post instead? Also, can you post the link to the tutorial you're trying to follow? — Jeff Lambert
here is a link to the tutorial code.tutsplus.com/articles/… — Eddie Greathouse

You need to check wheather the httpd.conf and .htaccess files are set properly.You need to make sure if document root is pointing to the laravels public directory.

Please have a check here
